Promoting Education, Cooperation, and PEACE

ICP U.S. Filming
Tour

The Islamic Center for PEACE is on
the road!

Since May 12, 2009, Imam Mohamed Al-Darsani
and other members of the ICP have been traveling to film
the documentaries Islam
in America: Muslim Contributions to the United States, and
Misconceptions in Islam.The trip has been extremely exciting, successful and filled with
wonderful interviews with some of America’s most notable Muslims such as
Rep. Keith Ellison, the first Muslim elected member to the U.S. House of
Representatives.

These documentaries will be distributed to promote the true
meaning of Islam and its roles in America and contemporary society. Upon
completion of the film Islam in America, the ICP intends to market the
film to US Mosques, County Libraries, University Libraries, Churches,
and Synagogues . Imam Al-Darsani was excited to comment on the project,
stating that "If the Muslim Community in America is willing to help
promote this film, by buying a copy, two copies, or even ten copies, or
if the Mosques are willing to buy them in bulk and give them to local
churches or community libraries, we can really help to show America the
real face of Islam".

The Center seeks to intellectually engage
Muslims and non-Muslims by taking on some of the most controversial
issues surrounding Islam. Muslims should also benefit by receiving
immense insight from some of the most notable Muslim scholars in America
on matters that directly affect their everyday lives.With these documentaries, the Islamic Center for PEACE hopes to
help bring an understanding of Islam to the United States and the world.

Funding for the trip has been made possible
by the generous donations of local Southwest Florida Muslims. The
project is estimated to cost around $80,000 USD. If you are interested
in contributing to this project please contact Imam Mohamed Al-Darsani
at 239-671-1761.

The trip’s progress will be documented on the Center’s website (www.ic-peace.com).The team will work hard to keep you updated on the latest
developments concerning the films.
